What Causes Sudden Loss Of Consciousness While Suffering From Artery Blockages?
Recently while taking morning walk, I suddenly felt that i may fall down if I walk further and accordingly I was going to sit on the roadside after that I do not remember anything. When my sense came back, i was told by the onlookers that I was going to sit on the roadside but suddenly fell down. This has happened for the first time. I am also haaving 2 artery blockages of about 30-40% which was detected during the last year. My weight is 67 Kgs.I have now been diagonised as having cervical spondilities. MY blood pressue, sugar are all normal. I am 63 years of age and having a reasonable good health. Is blackout may be due to my artery blockage?

Hi,
This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist.
Blockage of 30-40% generally does not result in serious complications like you said.
The episode you told could be because of Cervical Spondylitis or orthostatic hypotension (decrease in bp because of change of position).
I recommend you to go to a hospital for further evaluation.
Wishing you good health.
Regards
Dr Sameer Maheshwari
